The Synapse is a relay point of science-related information with a threefold objective. First, we aim to stimulate campus interest in science by exposing students to its global relevance and contributions. Second, we work to bridge the gap between the scientific and and artistic disciplines by offering students a medium through which to share their passions, creativity, and ideas. Third, we strive to facilitate collaboration between members of the Oberlin College community, especially within the natural science departments.
